Trump is no longer Hitler in the minds of liberals and the fake news media.
Ironically enough, the death of RINOCare made Trump look human.
Ryan lost. Bigly.
If Obamacare is still standing next election cycle, pity the congressman who is associated with the Freedom Caucus.
Pelosi is already calling the Pres a ‘rookie’ president. This theme will probably also prevail. IMO
As someone who was not an early Trump supporter but saw enough of him up close over the years to understand how he operates, I can guarantee tha he had no interest in seeing Ryan’s bill passed despite all of his public posturing.
I see Scott’s point. Impressed at DJTs reaction to this defeat. It shows that he is not of childish temperament, nor ready to seek revenge on those deserving. A smaller person would be out ‘preaching’, lecturing the public as well as congress telling all of the doom and gloom which would befall them due to this failure.
Dare it be said that DJT is actually listening to God’s Will and plans for AMERICA?
Two tumbs up if he succeeds in stifling the cries of Hitlerism, dictatorship, Socialism. Those who cry ‘incompetent’ will be doomed to eat their words.

We will see how much that perception matters.
I’m of the belief that the Dems would be saying the exact same things about any republican president, no matter what his last name was. They have become like spoiled children, used to getting their way if not through crooked voting, then through compliant judges. We will see. I am not celebrating anything just yet.
Scott only missed one additional point. Ryan has been and is still Necer Trump. His failure of leadership and failure to understand the American People now requires him to step down.
No, Adams missed the boat here on what Trump really accomplished. His hands are now completely clean. When Obamacare fails, he can say ‘I tried to fix it, but the democrats and the republicans in the house wouldn’t let me. Blame Ryan and the democrats.
But he managed to avoid blame for the Obamacare failure while not being saddled with responsibility for a plan that was going to be subject to potshotting from both the left and the right.
Brilliant moves on Trump’s part, and Ryan and the Dems fell right into the trap.
Trump has other ways to sink 0-care w/o Ryno.
Here’s his first EO:
Sec. 2. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Secretary of Health and Human Services (Secretary) and the heads of all other executive departments and agencies (agencies) with authorities and responsibilities under the Act shall exercise all authority and discretion available to them to waive, defer, grant exemptions from, or delay the implementation of any provision or requirement of the Act that would impose a fiscal burden on any State or a cost, fee, tax, penalty, or regulatory burden on individuals, families, healthcare providers, health insurers, patients, recipients of healthcare services, purchasers of health insurance, or makers of medical devices, products, or medications. For more information:
www.whitehouse.gov.
Second, if you want to get rid of a bad law enforce it. Certainly lift the exemptions for 0-care with respect to congress and government employees (except military)
Make sure that IRS is not enforcing the individual penalty for non government citizens. Have a team review IRS data and claims. If someone is assessed by IRS agent to pay penalty, stop them. Also, set up mechanism whereby individuals can claim a hardship and allow all hardship claims to be honored and penalty claims to be dropped. Do this a few times and IRS agents won’t bother.
Trump should go to the governors and ask States to come up with their own ideas and grant any exemption and waiver especially if it weakens 0-care.
I do believe that 0-care will collapse if the mandates are not enforced. BTW, do you think that citizens would object if 0-care is selectively enforced on government employees and not citizens? Especially since Congress that has had the exemption for 7 years?
Ryno lost it was his bill and he’s basically in the enemy camp. He dug his hole deeper by saying that 0-care will stay thus demonstrating his weakness and incompetence. Great admissions that prove the need for a new Speaker.
Freedom. Aucus was correct with non-support.
GOPe was exposed as the frauds that they are.
Democrats forced to wear the albatross that is Obamacare.
Obamacare will self-destruct allowing for a workable replacement.
Trump also won by controlling the agenda. He choose Obamacare as the first big issue to tackle and now he can say “Well, I lost, so it must not have been that important” and move on. This may make him look incompetent as Adams says, but it’s a Get Out Of Jail Free card with regard to Obamacare. If he’s right that it is going to continue failing and causing pain on people, even those who hate Trump will remember one thing: he tried to fix it but the Republicans in the House wouldn’t let him.
So now who doesn’t understand that the House Republicans were the biggest losers yesterday?
But now we all need to get ready for the collapse of Obamacare. Everyday Trump needs to go on and say that the health of all Americans is at risk because of Obamacare.
Scott Adams is absolutely right. And in the process, Trump is taking out some of the biggest Rinos and further damaging the Rats.
The illusion of Trump-is-Hitler has been fully replaced with Trump-is-incompetent meme.
He’s brilliant.
Obamacare is fascist. Trumpcare would have been fascist. Purge government from the marketplace before it becomes the marketplace even more.
Meh. The left may claim he’s incompetent, but he’s still Hitler too. He’s like Qadafi, or Peron or some other dictator who is also depicted as bumbling. I don’t agree with the theory of this article.
